KKR dominates SRH, winning their third IPL championship with an 8-wicket victory.

In a thrilling match on Sunday, Kolkata Knight Riders clinched their third trophy in the Indian Premier League with a dominant eight-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Despite losing the toss, KKR showed a remarkable performance with the ball, limiting SRH to a mere 113 runs, the lowest ever total in an IPL final.

The Knight Riders wasted no time in chasing down the target of 114, finishing the game with a whopping 57 balls to spare. Venkatesh Iyer was the star of the show, remaining unbeaten on 52 runs off just 26 balls. However, credit must also be given to Mitchell Starc, Andre Russell, and Harshit Rana, who were the top bowlers for KKR and made it difficult for SRH to stand a chance in the match.

Opting to bat first, SRH had a disastrous start as they lost Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head early on, with just six runs on the board. Starc's brilliant delivery on the fifth ball of the first over sent Abhishek back to the pavilion, while Head fell victim to a beautiful outswinger on his very first ball. Things didn't get any better for SRH as Rahul Tripathi also fell soon after, thanks to another impressive performance by Starc.

Harshit Rana, who came in as the first change bowler, continued to trouble the SRH batsmen and eventually dismissed Nitish Reddy. Andre Russell, on the other hand, made an impact in his first over by dismissing Aiden Markram. With SRH struggling at 62/5 in the 11th over, it was clear that they were struggling to find their footing in the match.

Despite their best efforts, SRH could not recover from the early blows, and eventually, fell short of a competitive total. In the end, they were all out for 113 runs in just 18.3 overs. KKR, on the other hand, made quick work of the chase and finished the game in just 10.3 overs.

The final scores were Sunrisers Hyderabad with 113 runs all out and Kolkata Knight Riders with 114 runs for the loss of only 2 wickets. It was a dominant performance by KKR, who proved to be the better team on the day.
